1 Samuel 11
1 And Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh-Gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
Tada doðe Nas Amonac, i stade u oko prema Javisu Galadovu. I svi ljudi iz Javisa rekoše Nasu: uèini vjeru s nama, pa æemo ti služiti.
2 And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, On this [condition] will I treat with you, that I thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
A Nas Amonac odgovori im: ovako æu uèiniti vjeru s vama: da vam svakome iskopam desno oko, i tu sramotu uèinim svemu Izrailju.
3 And the elders of Jabesh said to him, Allow us seven days, and we will send messengers into all the districts of Israel; and if there be no man to deliver us, we will come out to thee.
A starješine Javiske rekoše mu: ostavi nam sedam dana, da pošljemo poslanike u sve krajeve Izrailjeve; pa ako ne bude nikoga da nas izbavi, tada æemo izaæi k tebi.
4 And the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told these words in the ears of the people. And all the people lifted up their voice and wept.
I doðoše poslanici u Gavaju Saulovu, i kazaše ove rijeèi narodu; tada sav narod podiže glas svoj, i plakahu.
5 And behold, Saul came after the oxen from the field; and Saul said, What [aileth] the people that they weep? And they related to him the words of the men of Jabesh.
A gle, Saul iðaše za govedima svojim iz polja, i reèe: šta je narodu te plaèe? I kazaše mu šta su poruèili Javišani.
6 And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly.
Tada siðe duh Božji na Saula kad èu te rijeèi, i on se razgnjevi vrlo.
7 And he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent throughout the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoever comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen! And the fear of Jehovah fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
Pa uze dva vola, i isijeèe ih na komade, i razasla ih u sve krajeve Izrailjeve po istijem poslanicima poruèivši: ko ne poðe za Saulom i za Samuilom, ovako æe biti s govedima njegovijem. I strah Gospodnji popade narod, te izidoše jednodušno.
8 And he numbered them in Bezek, and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
I izbroji ih u Vezeku, i bješe sinova Izrailjevijeh trista tisuæa, a sinova Judinijeh trideset tisuæa.
9 And they said to the messengers that had come, Thus shall ye say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead: To-morrow ye shall have deliverance when the sun is hot. And the messengers came and informed the men of Jabesh-Gilead; and they were glad.
Potom rekoše poslanicima koji bijahu došli: ovako recite ljudima u Javisu Galadovu: sjutra æete se izbaviti, kad ogrije sunce. I poslanici se vratiše, i javiše ovo Javišanima, i oni se obradovaše.
10 And the men of Jabesh said, To-morrow we will come out to you, and ye may do with us according to all that is good in your sight.
I rekoše Javišani Amoncima: sjutra æemo izaæi k vama, da uèinite od nas što vam bude drago.
11 And it came to pass the next day that Saul set the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and smote Ammon until the heat of the day: and it came to pass that they who remained were scattered, and not two of them were left together.
I sjutradan razdijeli Saul narod u tri èete, i uðoše usred okola o jutrenjoj straži, i biše Amonce dokle sunce ne ogrija, i koji ostaše, raspršaše se da ne ostaše ni dvojica zajedno.
12 And the people said to Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
Tada reèe narod Samuilu: koji je ono što reèe: eda li æe Saul carovati nad nama? dajte ih da ih pogubimo.
13 But Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day; for to-day Jehovah has wrought deliverance in Israel.
Ali Saul reèe: da se ne pogubi danas niko, jer je danas Gospod uèinio spasenje u Izrailju.
14 And Samuel said to the people, Come and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
Tad Samuilo reèe narodu: hajdete da idemo u Galgal, da ondje ponovimo carstvo.
15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Jehovah in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed peace-offerings before Jehovah. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
I sav narod otide u Galgal, i postaviše ondje Saula carem pred Gospodom u Galgalu, i ondje prinesoše žrtve zahvalne pred Gospodom. I proveseli se ondje Saul i sav Izrailj veoma.
